Big Data Certificate Program 

Using data science in business is not a trend or fad, it's the new way today's leaders are leveraging advancing technologies to compete in the business world. Professionals equipped with data analytics knowledge can improve marketing and operating efficiencies. They can disrupt the status quo by inventing new business models to leap-frog competitors.
The program helped my organization view data in a completely different way. We are now moving beyond metrics and in the direction of analytics. We have so much data that we have never used that can inform the trajectory of where we want to go. We are in a much better place, at least with our understanding of the importance of Big Data and the opportunities it can create for an organization.
